Beat the Heat with Rafting + Biking

Start your morning cool on the Colorado River. End your evening exploring Moab by e-bike. One unforgettable day, two iconic adventures: the perfect antidote to a Moab summer.

Moab summers are legendary, and legendarily hot. This package is built to help you make the most of every hour. Cool off on a morning raft trip down the Colorado River at the iconic Fisher Towers stretch, then pick up one of our e-bikes in the afternoon and ride into the evening air with Arches National Park or downtown Moab as your backdrop. Two adventures, one perfect day.

Minimum age: 2 years & 30 lbs. Youth pricing applies ages 2–12. Perfect for families of nearly all ages.
